Simply
Simply...I think these start of classes were troublesome. You are just going to sit, answer the teacher, check school requirements, and eat then study again until you go home. However, this start of classes seemed so different. Those girls from the back, the only girl I knew there was Hinata Hyuuga, Neji's cousin, but who caught my interest was the girl with a blond hair in a ponytail. Her eyes were blue just like Naruto's eyes. I wonder, are they related? When I asked Naruto, he said that he do not have any relative except for his mother and father. Anyway, I am Nara, Shikamaru… witness how my group and I will discover the meaning of love, warm and care.
Its P.E today, it is too troublesome to run three laps so I skipped the class and went to the backside of the school. I just recently discover this place. It is a wide grassy field. The sky was blue today and the clouds were big. I just lean my back on a big tree and watch the clouds until I fell asleep.
I felt a warm but tickling touch on my face. I thought it was a leaf so I brush it off, but when I heard a gasp, I suddenly snapped my eyes open startling the person in front of me. She was the girl with the ponytail.
"Sorry, I thought it was a leaf." I said. She looked at me with calculating eyes, as if analyzing if I was good or bad. Finally, she sits a few inches away from me.
"Why did you… touch my face?" I asked her. She looked at me.
"Your face looks peaceful." She answered. I just smirked; I never knew my face looks so peaceful when I am asleep.
"Peaceful huh, I never consider that." I said to her as I looked at the clouds.
"You like here?" She asked me.
"Yeah, I just discover this area last Tuesday." I said.
"Why do you like it here?" She asked. I looked at her.
"Sorry to ask so many things." She said, clearly embarrassed. She was beet red by just asking. I laughed at her.
"Why are you suddenly getting red? It is okay to ask things you know. It is not as if I'm going to get mad." I said to her. She gave me a small smile.
"You like clouds don't you?" She asked. I nod and close my eyes.
"It's very nice to look at." I said to her.
"What's your name?" I asked her. She looked at me.
"Yamanaka, Ino." She answered. I looked at her and remembered something.
"Your parents own that Yamanaka flower shop right?" I asked. She nodded.
"My mother always bought flowers at your flower shop." I said to her.
"Oh, I see." She said.
"Shikamaru, classes were starting." Naruto yelled. He was currently at the rooftop along with Sasuke, Neji and Sai.
"Troublesome.' I said and stood up. I dust my pants and stretch my hand to her. She looked at me.
"Come on, we have classes." I said. Finally, she took my hand and I help her to stand up.
There was one thing I realize when we were already at the door of the classroom. We were still holding hands. The fan girls were emitting deadly auras and I sense something bad. She reluctantly let go of my hand and hurriedly walk to her seat.
"Sasuke, how long are you going to stare at Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked just to tease him. Sasuke just grunted and said annoying to Naruto. Looks like Sasuke was really having a liking to this Sakura. I think it is time for us to have someone we like. That is normal, right? I suddenly eyed Ino. I almost smiled when I remembered her face earlier when she thought I was mad at her for asking so many things. I think I am interested in her.
It is already time to go. Classes were over so we just have to wait for Naruto, that troublesome idiot forgot his notebook again. Sasuke was pacing, Neji is also pacing and Sai looked disturbed. Even I was starting to pace back and forth.
"Why are we pacing?" I asked the two. Sasuke looked at me.
"I'm thinking." He said. Neji just grunted telling "me too"
"Eh why do you look disturb Sai?" I asked him.
"I'm also thinking.' He said.
"Why are you pacing?" Neji asked.
"I think someone is in trouble." I said. Suddenly, Sasuke stopped pacing.
"That's it, that's what I'm thinking." Sasuke said and ran off at the secluded area of the school. We just shrug and follow him. Who could be in trouble? Naruto cannot be trouble because that idiot would fight no matter what. We nearly bumped Hinata if we did not stop running.
"Neji-niisan, Sakura and the others were in trouble." Hinata said, she was crying.
"Hinata-Chan, why are you running?" Naruto asked the girl. It seems that he caught up with her.
"Come on, Naruto take care of Hinata." Neji said. He just nodded.
The scene in front of us made our blood boil. The fan girls were beating up the girls. Sasuke cracked his knuckles.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" He said in a deadly tone. The fan girls were stepping back in fear.
"S-Sasuke-S-Sama, were just… were just…"
"Enough! I do not want to hear your craps. If you all repeat this, I'll deliver you to your personal hells," Sasuke said. The fan girls run away. Sasuke rushed to Sakura's side and looked at her bruise and scratches.
"Let's get them to the infirmary." Sasuke said. Sakura is out cold. Ino is also out cold, and Tenten has a gash on the head and that Temari has sprained ankle. I carry Ino on my back. Sasuke carried Sakura in a bridal style way while Neji and Sai helped Tenten and Temari walk.
Finally, the girls woke up. The nurse said that the pain made them faint. Hinata also fall asleep earlier and was leaning her head on Naruto's shoulder.
"What happened?" Sakura asked.
"Those girls attacked you." Hinata said.
"Sorry, we think that you got into this situation because of us." Naruto said. That is what we all think. The girls shook their heads.
"It's not your fault. They just think we were so close." Tenten said. Naruto smiled.
"Still, we were sorry. It's our fan girls after all." Sai said and smiled.
"We'll just take you all to your houses." Neji said.
"Let's all just go and sleep to our house." Hinata said.
"Yeah, besides it's getting late." Neji said. The other girls agreed.
I sat on the couch; it is already 11:59 pm. I still find it troublesome to sleep so I just watch the television. I heard stirring noise behind me but I did not look back.
"You're still up; I thought you were already sleeping." I recognized the voice instantly.
"It's troublesome to think." I said to her. Ino sit down next to me and place her hot chocolate milk in the table.
"Thanks for saving us back there." She said to me.
"It's okay, besides we know it's our fault why they did that." I said to her. She shook her head.
"It's not like you ordered them to do that so it's not your fault guys. Even though they act like that, we kind of understand them." Ino said. She brought the cup to her lips and took a sip.
"All of you were so kind." I said to her. She smiled and put the cup down.
"Yeah, were too kind for our own good. That's why we were always being manipulated." She said in a low tone.
"What?" I asked. She just shook her head and smile.
"You should try to sleep." She said as she stands up to go back to Hinata's room.
"Forget what I said. It's nothing." She said. I just nod. What did she mean by that? I mean, it is clear that she said that. I think I would not really have to get some sleep. This thought would just keep me awake. Who manipulated these girls, why?
The next day, I woke up with the smell of pancakes. I peek at the kitchen and saw Sasuke and Sakura talking. A little eavesdropping would not hurt, right. I pretend to be asleep.
"So, you have a family company huh." She said to him. Looks like Sasuke was sharing a bit of his life.
"Yeah, that's why these girls were kind of crazy to get me." He said. Sakura laughed softly.
"Well, having you as their boyfriend will really give them benefit. But why don't you find the right ne Uchiha-san?" She asked. He fell silent for a while. I could not help but smirked she hit the spot.
"Well, it's not like I'm rushing." He said. What a lame excuse to get out of the topic.
"Oh, I see." She said.
"Do you have siblings?" He asked. She fell silent this time.
"I think I shouldn't have asked." He said.
"N-No it's okay, I have a…step brother. My mom divorced my dad 3 years ago. She remarried to…her co-worker that has a son. He was also divorced." She explained.
"Ah…You two get along?" He asked. This is the first time I heard Sasuke talk a lot. She was silent again.
"Ouch! It hurts." She said. I looked at the kitchen. Sasuke was holding Sakura's finger.
"You should be careful you know." He said to her. She smiled sheepishly. He put her finger in the running water.
"How about you, do you have any siblings?" She asked. She obviously dodged Sasuke's question. Either they really did not get along or something happened.
"I have a big brother." He said.
"You two get along?" She asked. He shook his head.
"Why didn't you two get along?" She asked.
"It's like competition between us." He said. That was true.
"Well, that's normal for siblings. Anyway, your mom was also working at the office?" She asked.
"Yeah, but on her free time she would take me out and have a dinner with her. We barely see each other because of my mom's work." He said. Actually, Sasuke was always alone. His mother was the only person who gives time for him.
"You love your mom of all the persons around you, don't you?" She asked. He smirked at her and nodded.
"What are you doing in there?" Ino asked as she kneels down at the floor. I put my pointer finger at my lips and point Sakura and Sasuke. She smiled and looked at the scene in front of us.
"Sasuke-san like Sakura, doesn't it?" Ino stated. I nodded.
"Don't tell her okay?' I said to her.
"Of course I wouldn't." Ino said.
"What are you two doing there?" Sasuke asked. Sakura was also looking at us.
"I-It's not what you think, were just talking you know." I said. This is too troublesome.
"Yeah, talking…right." Sasuke said as he ate his pancake.
"Come on, let's also have breakfast." Ino said. I nod and stand up. Just like Sasuke, I also want a girl like her to open up a little. These girls need to open up. We all want them to open up. It feels like their secret is burdening them.
Another chapter done have a good day.
